Editors’ Picks Webcast, Coming March 19: Get Your Hot Editors Now

Two weeks ago, I reported on Library Journal‘sEditors’ Picks webcasts, which will launch on Tuesday, March 19, from 3:00 to 4:00 pm ET. Last week I reported on this year’s National Book Critics Circle Awards ceremony, which was topped by Ben Fountain’s win for his debut novel, Billy Lynn’s Long Half-Time Walk. In a bit of serendipity, Fountain’s editor, Ecco editorial director and vice president Lee Boudreaux, is one of our webcast speakers. Boudreaux will doubtless have more winners up her sleeve, as will our other speakers from HarperCollins, Macmillan, and Random House. Registration is now open; join us.

Barbara Hoffert (bhoffert@mediasourceinc.com, @BarbaraHoffert on Twitter) is Editor, LJ Prepub Alert; past chair of the Materials Selection Committee of the RUSA (Reference and User Services Assn.) division of the American Library Association; and past president of the National Book Critics Circle, to which she has just been reelected.
